Finishing
A Ping's home.
"My daughter was only 16 years old, and now that she is dead, she will always be that young.
You will be miserable! You still have a long life waiting for you!"
A middle-aged woman spoke calmly, even talking while eating, without even looking at Zhong Qiu who was standing at the table.
"Actually, my daughter also admires you for being a friend, a hero, and a loyal person, but so what?
Even if you are willing to donate a kidney to save her, I still say the same thing in my heart, I will always oppose you being together!"
But during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I just looked at A Ping's portrait silently, with a numb expression.
Yes, what if you are friends and loyal enough?!
A Ping and Aaron are both dead!
He turned around silently and when he walked to the door, a voice suddenly came from behind him: "Don't come here again!"
Uncontrollable anger burst out from Zhongqiu's heart. He kicked hard at the TV screen and found that it couldn't be kicked. Then he raised the bench and smashed it, breaking the bench.
He looked at the bench with his broken hand angrily, "I can't even get a TV set?!"
Zhongqiu yelled, picked up the TV and walked out of the door, shouting: "Give me back the screen!"
Then with a violent movement, he threw the TV series from the railing downstairs!
boom!
There was a loud bang and the TV fell to pieces on the ground.
"Yes! Azu, please wait a moment, I'll go downstairs to see another set of picture effects."
There was also a set of cameras downstairs filming the TV falling and breaking.
Wu Nianzu breathed out. He had gone from calmness to numbness to anger. His emotional changes were very tiring. Now he was resting against the railing.
Chen Guo ran to the camera on the first floor and looked at it for a while, then made an OK gesture. Wu Nianzu was relieved.
This is the last scene, finished!
However, at this moment, two uniformed police officers appeared: "Who called the police?"
He immediately poked his head out of the railing on the second floor: "Sir, I called the police! They dropped objects from high altitudes, it's so dangerous!"
The police officer immediately pulled Chen Guo: "Fat boy, it's you again! Didn't I tell you not to take pictures?! Whoever threw it upstairs, stop!"
Their crew did not apply for a filming permit, so they were filming without a permit here.
How could Wu Nianzu wait so stupidly and run away immediately?
Anyway, there are dozens of floors of public housing and thousands of people, how could we possibly catch him!
Two hours later, Wu Nianzu waited at the door of the police station for Chen Guo to come out.
"Brother Guo, I thought you were reluctant to come out and invite us to the wedding banquet!"
"Drop it! The cat poop coffee in the police station is delicious enough. Do you want to buy it for you?"
"Hey, today is the final day for you to go out to the police station to clean up the dust. Brother Guo, you can't be stingy this time!"
Hearing this, the rest of the crew also followed Wu Nianzu in making noises.
Chen Guo raised her hand: "Okay, okay, let's make a side stove tonight!"
In a special red peat stove, light the charcoal, put an earthen pot on it, pour in water and boil it.
People here in Hong Kong love to eat satay and hoisin sauce, and Wu Nianzu dipped it in spicy sauce and red oil and ate it with gusto!
At the wine table, the crew mingled with each other.
"Fortunately, you are smart and can run fast! Otherwise, the crew would have lost all the money they paid for tonight's meal!"
"I'm a brain eater!"
The two clinked glasses, and Wu Nianzu asked: "Brother Guo, what are your plans for this movie?"
"After cutting it out, submit it to various film festivals and give it a try. Maybe you can make back the cost with the bonuses!" Chen Guo joked while eating.
International film festivals are divided into categories. The most famous ones in the A category are of course the three major ones in Europe. If you are shortlisted for these three majors, they will only provide you with air tickets and hotels. There are no bonuses. It is your honor to have you come!
And how do other people who are also A-level survive?
Prizes are awarded!
For example, the Locarno International Film Festival, known as one of the four major film festivals in Europe, is not low in ranking, but its reputation lags far behind. Therefore, it has set up generous bonuses. The Golden Leopard Award has 75,000 Swiss francs, which can be worth five according to the exchange rate.
Six hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars.
For a director who shoots literary and artistic films, this amount of money is really quite a lot!
Do you want to go?
We are both A-level and want to save face, so we can only choose one to participate!
There is no doubt that Chen Guo is not thinking about the three major film festivals, but the second-tier A-level film festivals with generous bonuses.
Wu Nianzu looked serious: "Brother Guo, you have to open up the world in life! Since you want to take the route of winning prizes, go directly to the three majors!"
"Damn! Azu, I'm so brave to think about it. You have more dreams than me!" Chen Guo opened her mouth. She would probably come back empty-handed after going to the Third University.
"Brother Guo, I have confidence in you!"
"I have no confidence, I can't cheat Hua Zai!"
"Brother Guo, believe me, go to Berlin next year!"
Of course Wu Nianzu was not trying to trick Chen Guo. He remembered the "Made in Hong Kong" in his previous life and did not go to the Big Three.
He doesn’t think he will definitely win a prize if he goes there, but the chance is very high this time because at the Berlin Film Festival next February, Zhang Guorong will be on the jury!
Don't underestimate the influence of a judge. As long as the quality of the film is not bad, what matters is the human connection!
Ang Lee, who was still a newcomer in 1993, was able to win the Berlin Golden Bear for "The Wedding Banquet" because the jury included Lao Mouzi!
In 2007, it was Lao Mouzi who awarded the Venice Golden Lion to Ang Lee's "Lust, Caution"!
So this time, as long as "Made in Hong Kong" can be shortlisted for Berlin, with Zhang Guorong in it, it can at least win a unit award!
Mr. Rong is famous for his love of supporting newcomers in the industry!
By then, not only would the movie rights be sold for a lot of money, but his reputation as a leading actor in the literary and art world would immediately be established!
Chen Guo chewed the tripe in her mouth and said after a while: "I'll discuss it with Andy, after all he is an investor!"
Wu Nianzu nodded.
"I heard that Wen Jun has already come up with a script idea for the next Young and Dangerous movie, and intends to add the character of Big Head Boy into it. This time it's Zheng Yi Mian, the original cast member of Chen Xiaochun! Do you want me to help you talk about it?"
Wu Nianzu shook his head when he heard this: "Thank you, Brother Guo, I have my own plan."
"What are you doing?"
"Be an idol! If everything goes well, I will become a popular star next year!" Wu Nianzu looked confident.
"A popular star? How popular is it?"
"More popular than Hua Tsai!"
"Tch! I also said that I could beat Wang Jiawei and win the Academy Award for Best Director next year!" Chen Guo rolled her eyes in disbelief.
Wang Jiawei's "Happy Together" was released in May this year, starring Tony Leung and Leslie Cheung. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is a favorite at the Academy Awards!
But Wu Nianzu knew that Wang Jiawei was fucked by the big dark horse "Made in Hong Kong"!
"Hey, Brother Guo, you said this yourself. If you win the Academy Award, you can make up for my salary!"
"OK! When the time comes, I will use my own money to seal you 100 pieces of gold bull money!"
Taurus is the common name for HKD 1,000, 100 pieces equals 100,000!
"Then I'll thank Brother Guo first!" Wu Nianzu quickly toasted with a glass of wine and took the opportunity to finalize the deal. Finally, he was able to squeeze out some profit from the stingy fat man!
Chen Guo still looked silly and happy.
"Brother Guo, I want to learn martial arts. Do you have any place you recommend?"
"Can't you just find a martial arts school and pay the money?"
"I want to be a big star and don't want to get into any trouble."
Chen Guo understood now that martial arts schools are easy to find in Hong Kong, but nowadays there are many martial arts schools, large and small, and most of them are related to associations.
For example, Cai Moquan's faction has an unclear relationship with Xinyi'an, where the Xiang brothers are located.
After Chen Huimin from the Number Gang became famous, he also opened a boxing gym. However, because his apprentices often caused trouble outside, he was so annoyed that he simply closed the boxing gym.
Zhou Xingxing's "New Fist of Fury 1991" satirizes the "martial arts". He joins a martial arts gym as a name, but who knows that it is a "black club" that practices swordsmanship during the day and goes to hack friends at night.
Chen Guo thought for a while: "Do you want to really practice martial arts or do you want to exercise?"
Wu Nianzu chuckled and said: "Brother Guo, if you ask me to really practice martial arts, practice in the winter and practice in the summer, I don't have the perseverance!
One is to keep fit, and the other is to prepare for future martial arts and action movies. I never like to improvise."
Chen Guo nodded: "I'll help you find out in the next few days."
He has been in the industry for so many years and has cooperated with several major martial arts classes in Hong Kong more than once. He knows the details of most people!
